T0 ALL WIGM i'f MAY CNERN:

Bc it lcnon'n that I, C, Rncigve'rov, e? lnhilqne, Dubuque county, loire, hnve .invented a new and nsei'ul Improvement in schine for lllnliingiljnil-cts or Shot; and do hereby declare that the following c full, clear, end exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the nrt to make and use the seine. reference hiring had 'to the ccconipanying drawings, leiy-eninl part ci" this specification, in which# Figure is n section-iii side elevation ci' my improved hnllct end shot machine, sind Figure 2 o. top vieri with the nressii in section.

Siinilnr letters of reference indicate corresponding ports ffl il iis invention relates tc c new' and useful improvement in machinery i'er nmhing bullets or shot my conipression or swnging, and consists in a device for feeding rods o`r wire nando of icc-d or other suitable oit metal in short lengths, cnt oii' successively and pushed into dies which are forcedrogether by slides Worked h v ceins in such manner as to press or sivngge the lead slug into n round or oval-shaped bullet or shot, as hereinafter more particularly described.

Ey this machine bullets or shot are rapidly and perfectly formed of any required size or sph'crieity.

A represents a bench-frame for the support of the machinery, :across which, on the top, is hung a shet, B,

operated by a crank ily-Wheel, C, or by any suitable power connected therewith, v On the shaft B are placed two cams, (L fr', which inove the slides forwardV respcctivelwhile they are drawn back by sprinrs q r1 under the hed ci the nia-chine. Both movements may, however, lie egccted by the ceros. The slide E carries on its 'i'oiiivard end a die, c, 'which is moved to and from n eeticnery die, c". in the ends oi the dies are formed ccp-cavities or recesses that are complements of each other to press a piece oi lend inte the shape -of a bullet or shot, or differently shaped, as desired. The slide bcerries en its foi-werd end a punch, i?, that passes through the die c to push piece of lend np to the end of the die, to be pressed` into a bullet. The punch fits inthe die exactly, and conforms in its extremity to the shape of the pressing cavity in the die, or has a point on the end to form c cavity in the bullet The die c has a slot, e, 42, ec.l one side, opening into the hole for thc passage oi' the punch through it, in which slot he piece of lead to he pressed is introduced and forced .hy a slide, y, which receives its forward movement to push. in the lend freni 4a cninnhlocli, It, placed on the side of the ily-wheel Gfwhich acts on it' at every revolution of the wheel. `Lne slide is else provided with a spring, 7N, to throw it hach when the cem has passed, und the die is made edjneniblc with e setscrew. Attached to the frontend of the frame is'a feeding apparatus, consist-ing ci' e sliding` heed hlock, 7c, connected cya clamping-jan', r, with a sliding erm, itz, fastened on thc under side of the iframe A to o. slide piece, .75, which is actuated in one direction by a side ccm, in, on the fly-Wheel C, and is moved nach in the other direction by c spring, n.

The operation of the machine is follows: The lend rol or wire s e is fed from e reel or any suitable device through the need-block .1", between it and the end of the jaw .7:51. The sliding arm le? pushes it forward a, certain distance, as required, opposite the'elide y, throng-*ira cutter, E, ond :is the slide g moves up it cuts oli` the piece of lead to ineke e bullet, and pnslies it foi-werd into the slot. c in frantoi' the punch d, which is then moved forward by the slide 6C? The slide o has previouslymoved. the die c up to the die c', and the punch then forces the lead intot-he cavity at the end of the dies to lform the bullet or shot. 'Ehe stntionary'die is provided with a plunger to push the bullet out when it has heen pressed or swaged into form, and discharge it through 'the hed of the machine. The machine may be used for Siva-ging iron or other metals, if desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and, desire to secure by lLetters Patent, is-

.. The combination of the chics l Zi', actuated hy the cams a fr', the moving die c, iind stationery die c,

the punch ci, and the feeding.,r slideg, arranged end operating substantially es and for the rmrposes hereindescribed.

2. The lieadhlock /c, theelemping-jcw c, the sliding orni k2, and sli/,le piece lc", nctnate'l hy the side cnin m, combined and operating substantially es and for the purpose herein described.. l
